User talk:Ediconu

This is the history of Ediconu.

Ediconu is a name used by an individual in Fairfax, VA, who went from having a bad nickname to a better nickname though several steps.

Originally, the name was BusterFS; "Buster" because why not, and "FS" because of the Fellowship Diablo Guild from the days of the original Diablo_(computer_game) game released by Blizzard Entertainment. This definitely did not strike fear into the hearts of his enemies.

A compatriot of "BusterFS" suggested that he modify his name to a more interesting, cooler, angrier sounding name and, as an example, blurted out "Unocide". It came from his knowledge of two words, first "you", which can be shortened to "U" and "Genocide" which is to exterminate a large group of people. He figured it must end up meaning "killing you" which was the goal in many online games, such as Quake and Counter Strike.

This name did fine for a while, but people got confused and figured he was suicidal or some other such thing. The solution presented itself when reversing the name turned it into Ediconu, which though unpronoucable, sounds neat.

Ediconu and Edimobile (for laptops/ cellphones) became the names of choice for this certain person, who's created websites, chatted on Internet_Relay_Chat, ICQ, AIM, Google_talk, and other online systems, and played games from Diablo to Quake_3 and Counter-Strike.
